PHILIP BouRKE MARsroN.

Browning is the "poet of the few" His
deep insight and high philosophy will be
understood only by students who occupy
his lofty plane of genius. A singer has
recently left us who struck chords in his
Swallowed life which touched more hearts
than Browning has yet reached Phillip
Bourke Marston. His recent death has
recalled to many the glowing lyric which
his godmother, Miss Muloch, penned in
his youth, and which is found in many a
scrap-book:
Look at me with thy large brown eyes,
Philip, my king,
Round whom the enshadowing purple lies
Of bahyhood's royal dignities;
Lay on my neck thy tiny hand
With loves invisible seepter laden;
/ am thy Esther to command
Till thou shalt find queen hand-maiden,
Philip, my king.
Oil the day when thou goest wooing.
Philip. my kingI
When those beautiful lips are suing,
And some gentle hearts bars undoing,
Thou dost enter, love, crowned, and there
Sittest love glorifed. Rule kindly
Tenderly, over thy kingdom fair,
For we that love, ahl we love so blindly.
Philip, my king.
Up from thy sweet mouth-up to thy brow,
Philip, my kingl
The spirit that there lies sleeping now
May rise like a giant and make men bow.
As to one heaven-ehOsen among his peers,
My Saul, than thy brethren taller aud fairer,
Let me behold thee in future years.
Yet thy head needeth cirelet rarer,
Philip, my king.
wreath, not of gold. but palm. One day,
Philip, my king,
Thou, too, must tread, as we trod, a way
Thorny and cruel and cold and gray;
Rebels within thee. and foes without,
win snatch at thy crown; but march on, glo-
riOus
Martyr, yet monarch; till angels shout
AS thou sit'st at the feet of God victorious,
Philip. my kingl"

A SECRET WORTH REMEMBERING.

There is, perhaps, no one thing that
endears pastor to his people, more
than to be always addressed by name.
This fact is known to many pastors
who do not act upon it, and claim that
they cannot. Hence the value OF the
secret, which l am going to divulge.
When you meet any one whose name
you have once known, be sure to ad-
dress him by name. If you fail to re-
call the name at that interview, do not
give it up, but keep thinking till you
do recall and speak it. 1t will be easier
next time.
Inquire about his family, calling the
children by name. When you are at
home, and refer to the circumstance of
meeting this man, speak his name, and
all you learned about the children and
other members Of the family, repeating
the names. This will help you recall
these names at another time; and after
little, it will be impossible to forget
them. If you meet a child of any
member of your congregation, and you
cannot recall the name, stop it, and
learn the nanne; so that you will not
seem so dull another time. Tell the
story at home. Every time you speak
a name it will come to you more easily
thereafter.
What is said above about names, is
equally applicable to dates. By re-
peatedly giving the names and dates
when rehearing story, they become
familiar, and are recalled without effort.
1t is a fault Of many ministers, that
they talk too little at home about the
incidents of their pastoral visits.
The late Stephen R. Smith once re-
marked in my hearing, that he could
speak the name of every man he had
known in all the places he had visited
for period of thirty years. He was a
great talker and, to illustrate some
topic of conversation, he often referred
to some incident in his ministry and
when he did so, he invariably called the
names of those who were connected
with the story and generally gave the
date. During the settlement in Buff
falo of this venerated brother, which
was his last, 1 visited him number of
times, and was with him few times
when he was walking in the streets.
II was astonishing how many men, and
even children, he would call by name.
If they belonged to his congregation,
he would stop and talk with them,
making inquiries about other members
of the family, calling them by name.
1t was not less astonishing how much
he knew about them, and especially as
his health was getting too feeble to al
allow of going about much among the
people.
1 do not remember that he ever told
me the secret of this facility of recall
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-04-23

his salvation from utter moral over
throw rests in his power to defy God by
submitting heroically to the worst he
can do. One of the manifest qualities
in the Puritan character is that which
led them to feel that if it were Gods
will to torment them forever, it should
be done, and done, too, with no COM
plant of severity of injustice on their
part against the infinite God of heaven.
Their souls would have shuddered with
the thought that they were robbing
God of all triumph by their submissive,
patient obedience, their single hearted
yielding to his sovereign will, but such
was the fact, and in it consisted their
salvation from permanent moral over
throw. The manifest of all qualities
is that which submits to injustice, to
wrong, and will not call it such, will
not acknowledge it even in secret
thought, because of the generous feel
ing, the reverent love one has for the
person who inficts it. Never before
was such spectacle seen as that of a
whole people so submissive under the
heavy hand of God as actually in spirit,
in all that goes to the making of fine
and noble characters to rise above him.
This might seem irreverent if it were
not borne in mind that am not speak
ing of God as he is, but only of the pur-
itanical perception of him. Held down
in any cringing, supersLitious fear of
this conception, as they might have
been, they must have fallen far below
what they were in noble manhood; but
rising above it as they did through
their patient, forgiving, accomplishing
endurance, because it was God, the
ever-adorable, the ever-just who Or
dained it, because they deserved it,
they robbed God Of all conquest over
their indomitable spirits, and raised
themselves to be the manifest and
strongest of men. Any theory which
seeks to account for the emancipation
of this peculiar people from what might
have been a mere slavish subsection to
tyrannical power, or to an authority so
powerful and paramount as to bewilder
all individual sense of right and wrong,
of truth and falsehood, must rest upon
the granite strength which underlies
this exceptional character, and which
was born of that proud submission to a
will which it would not, really would
not, rebel against even in thought. Re-
bellion against what they believed to be
the will of God, against its injustice,
it's cruelty, its hate, would have been
moral ruin to the men of that famous
colony; submission to it, saved them to
become the seed of great nation.

The Open Court is the Chicago envi-
ronment of the transmigrated soul of the
Boston IndeG. The body looks well and
the spirit is unchanged. Precisely which
of the divisions of the ori ginal six who COM
prised the host of the I,ade1 has found its
habitation and vocation in the Open Court,
we are not informed. But there is the
same delightful Inconsistencies of superior
ity to the general ignorance and folly of
mankind and the same assumption of
headship of the intellectual creation. In
an Open Court all grievances are suppos-
ed to be heard and redressed. But the
brethren of this particular cant, have only
the common grievance, that their fellow
creatures are so superstitious and mar
row-minded; and this grievance is amply
redressed by the abiding sense of their
own lucidity and largeness. Ina.

1.-THE EMANCIPATION OF MASSACHU-
SETS"
BY REV. MARY j. DELoNG.
(Neenah, Wis.,

L have not read the book with the
above title, but some well-written re-
views of it have fallen under my notice,
especially the one in the February At
lantic. The title is suggestive, however.
When one has read it one cannot help
thinking of it; it is taking and attrac-
tive. 1t commends the book to notice.
So far as am able to speak of it, the
book sets forth the peculiar spirit, the
motives and the moral ideas which act
uated the Puritan Colony,of Massachu-
setts Bay in their settlement in Amer
ica. The reviewer whom l have just
referred to, says: "Abhorring the
church of Rome, they yet had inherited
to the full its tradition of magisterial
power in the priest, as man super
naturally appointed and ordained, not
merely to persuade, but to govern. They
had come to these Geld shores with no
purpose to establish personal or civil
liberty as these things are now under
stood, but with very different and
indeed contrary purpose. Their spirit
was more that of the Westminster AS
sembly, which elaborated a system Of
spiritual subsection more minute and
searching than was ever put into oper-
alton by the prelacy of England or the
priesthood of Rome" This is a some
what different opinion from that gener-
ally entertained regarding the purpose
of the early settlers of Massachusetts
Bay. But in the face of their after his
tory, illuminated as it is with the fires
of persecution and witchcraft, we are
not quite at liberty to say it was not
the true one. 1t is this fact which
gives great force to the word "Emanci-
patton" in the title of the book.
have not read the book, and there
fore do not know by what process, or in
what way, the author thinks Massachu-
setts has achieved her Emancipation, "
But one fact has been borne in upon
me as possible factor in the solution
of the question thus presented.
George Mcdonald has said, "That, if
men believed in an evil God and had
not the strength to defy him, they must
sink into savagery." This is precisely
what that Puritan Colony did it de-
fed the evil God it believed in. Not in
any impious, undevout, irreverent way
surely, but not the less determined and
successful +; all the more conducive to
its own everlasting good because most
reverent and devout. If one can con-
ceive of God as ever having any pleas
ure in the death of the wicked; if one
can conceive of him as creating souls
on purpose to torment them forever
if one can think of God as sitting
among his few favored saints in heaven
enjoying the spectacle of these tortured
souls bowling in pain, then, doubtless

in the comb of the bee, the web of the
spider, the nest of the bird, and the
house of the beaver within the period
of mans observation and experience.
Instinct has not advanced, reason has,
and this fact shows the natural superb
ority of reason to instinct. Mans in
telligence is superior to the brute's in
nature, quality, and kind, as well as in
quantity. He belongs to a superior
order of beings, and stands higher in
the scale Of natural intelligence. In
stinct without reason has never learned
to kindle a fire. 1t has learned some
thing of it's benefits, but has never
learned to use it. Those animals that
have seen men use fire, and have en-
joyed its warmth, have never acquired
a knowledge of its use for their own
benefit. To do this, is above instinct,
and they are not endowed with reason.
Instinct does not demand the super
fuous, reason does.
The brute is satisfied with that which
is necessary to his being, man demands
more. He is never satisfied. He is
ever reaching for something higher and
better. This is the cause of his ad-
vancement-the secret of his progress.
He Graves more than is necessary for
his simple existence. He seeks the
ideal and the perfect the true, the
beautiful, and the good.
The result of this craving and seek
ing for the ideal and perfect, is the Gre
alton of art, poetry, music, painting,
sculpture, architecture, and drawing.
Man is a moral being, the brute is not.
Animals show in their actions no sense
of duty, no feeling of responsibility, no
consciousness of obligation. They show
gratitude, and friendship, but do not
reveal distinctive moral qualities. The
brute creation has no religion. They
do not worship. They reveal in their
actions no faith in God as the Creator,
Father, and friend. They have no re-
ligious faith, and develop no moral and
religious character. They do not show
in the structure of the braiu any moral
or religious organs. Man is religious
being, with religious nature. He has
a religious faith, performs religious
worship, has organized religious insti-
tutions, and has developed religious
history. This shows that he is natur-
ally superior to animals. His nature is
superior in kind, and not simply supe-
rior in degree of development. He is
spiritual, moral, and free, with faith in
God and hope in immortality.

ing names; but 1 have no doubt that L
have the right of it. Names, dates and
circumstances, are readily recalled,
when they have been often recalled be-
fore. Speaking name makes it easier
to speak it the next time. Things will
be remembered if you talk about them.
If any minister shall act on the secret
here disclosed, and not find himself
benefited, 1 shall have written in vain,
so far as he is concerned. M.

THE PROHIBITIONISTS,

The majority rolled up in Texas
last week against a prohibition
amendment shows how useless it
is for the prohibitionists to have
their peculiar ideas of controlling
the drink habit become law. Or
egon is to have a similar election
next fall and the prohibitionists will
be defeated by still greater major
ity than that which overwhelmed
the woman suffrage amendment in
that state. When so satisfactory
a means of dealing with the liquor
question as the Georgia local op-
ton law or the Michigan or Min
nesota high license law is offered,
the nearest approach to prohibition
is attained. In Rhode Island, Maine
and Vermont the prohibitory law
is a farce, and liquor is sold every
where. The only effectual means
to control the liquor traffic is in
high license and local option, and
the sooner the prohibition party
acknowledges this and bend their
energies in such direction the more
beneficial will be results attained.

A brief dispatch from St. Thomas
Ontario, notes the death last week
of Hon. Allen Francis, United
States Consul at that place. His
death was occasioned by injuries
received from being struck by a
hose cart called into service by a
railway disaster. In the early days
of Illinois, Mr.. Francis, with his
brother, Major Simeon Francis,
were the publishers of the Spring
field Journal, and both were warm,
personal friends Of Abraham Lin
coin. After the election of Lincoln
the brothers came west, and during
the stormy political times of 81
and '62 Major Francis was the edi-
tor of the Oregonian at Portland,
while his brother Allen received
the appointment of United States
Consul at Victoria, B. c., which
position he held until after tn
election Of Cleveland, when he was
removed, and shortly after ap-
pointed to represent our govern
ment at st. Thomas. During his
long career as consul he was re-
garded as one of the most efficient
representatives of the diplomatic
service. Although IA years of age
he was. a well preserved man, re-
tanning full possession of his facul-
ties, and but for the untimely acct
dent would have doubtless lived
several years yet. With his death
passes away one of the few remain
ing representatives of an era in the
history of our country that was re-
plete with stirring events, and which
resulted in the election of Abraham
Lincoln to the presidency and the
downfall of slavery.

WANTED---A 1ANDAxUS!

The New Miner claims to have
received congratulations and en-
dorsemerts from all sides for its
course taken concerning the report
of the committee on experts. That
paper is mistaken when it asserts
that an article appearing in the
KEYSTONE two weeks ago was writ
ten or dictated by the Chairman
of the Board of County Commits
sioners. The KEYSTONE believes it
is right in the position it has as
sumed regarding the matter and
reasserts its opinion that it would
be against public policy to make
the report public until suits have
been commenced against those who
are mentioned in the report as hav-
ing illegally collected certain sums
of money. 1t is yet to be determ-
ined whether these various amounts
were illegally collected. The News
Miner claims to have made every
effort, except applying for a writ of
mandamus, to examine this report
and give the taxpayers its contents,
but as such proceeding will cost
labor and money it does not con-
slider it a duty to institute such
action. A writ of mandamus
would be a very proper way for the
heartily endorsed" News-Miner to
get a peep at the report. 1t should
apply Immediately for one and if
the court will not grant it perhaps
the Republican County Central
Committee will treat the organ a
little more kindly than it did in the
county printing matter and furnish
the necessary order. Mandamns
the entire Board of County Com
missioners, Chairman and all, so
that the report can be given full
publicity, the ends of justice de-
feated and the News-Miner some
thing to write about.
